Text of the page (random words):
he one condition was weird but what the hell the customer was always right the paying customer was always right i shoved the envelope of cash into my pocket no barking when i rang the doorbell the wife must ve taken the dog with her the door opened about an inch one eye peered out at me yes mr malmon i m with o shea s roofing here to look at your roof i know nothing about this go away your association wants me to take a look sir it ll only take a few minutes oh okay he slid back the little chain opened the door wide enough to let me in then quickly closed the door i had my knife at his throat before he even turned around i dragged his skinny ass to the living room tied him to one of the chairs who are you what do you want keep your mouth shut you ve pissed off the wrong person by talking too much i pulled my ipod out of my pocket unwrapped the earphones and shoved them into malmon s ears let s see how you like this i said i cranked up the volume and pushed the play button i d looped the video ahead of time and watched his face as he listened to the short clip over and over it didn t take long for malmon to start whimpering once the blubbering started i moved closer every time i heard letterman pause i pulled the blade out of dan malmon oprah blade in pause blade out uma blade in over and over and over again the front door suddenly opened and in walked malmon s wife red the ass kicker she took one look at her husband s body clenched her hand and held it up now this is worthy of a fist bump the one condition i returned her waiting fist like i always say the paying customer is always right dan o shea should we ever meet i d like to buy you a drink as a way of thanking you for giving me an excuse to start writing again dan malmon sorry and i guess i should also buy you a drink kate red malmon you deserve free drinks forever and ever posted by working stiffs at 3 46 pm email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday april 01 2013 loss of a working stiff by joyce for those who haven t heard the news longtime working stiff wilfred bereswill passed away suddenly on palm sunday passed away seems inadequate when a death is so unexpected i first heard about it on easter sunday when jenna bennett jennie bentley posted a link to her blog on twitter to say i was shocked doesn t begin to cover it it was all i could think about for most of the day the only time i met will in person was at bouchercon in baltimore when annette and i ran into him it was like a family reunion joyce will annette it s strange how someone you know mostly through blog posts can make such a lasting impression it s a testament to his ability to tell a story that so many people feel like they lost a good friend will posted often on china and hawaii two of his favorite places he wrote about his work his books his every day life and a very poignant post about losing his father at a young age to colon cancer will s every day life got hectic and eventually he had to drop writing for working stiffs his last post with us was on march 7 2011 read it it was titled so long farewell amen amen indeed so long will we miss you posted by working stiffs

eyes we bid you adieu until we meet again c l gina martha kristin annette paula joyce jenna pat and ramona xoxo posted by working stiffs at 12 01 am 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday march 21 2012 death and taxes by annette dashofy according to benjamin franklin in this world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes let me add change to that list nothing stays the same take facebook for example as soon as you learn how to navigate it they change everything spring seems an appropriate time for making changes mother nature is trading in the drab monotone shades of winter for greens and yellows gray skies give way to blue so not all change is bad which of course brings me to all of us working stiffs this is my last post here like all my fellow stiffs i m feeling a bit nostalgic over the years since nancy martin introduced us on september 3 2006 regulars and guests have come and gone from this site only joyce gina and myself have remained throughout we ve written through good times and bad we ve celebrated book launches and mourned family deaths we ve covered serious topics such as senseless murders in our own hometowns and we ve gotten just plain silly more than once what i hope we ve always done sometimes with more success than others is to entertain i m still going to be around cyberspace i m on facebook and twitter i have my own blog writing etc where i ll continue to write about whatever tickles my fancy on any given day my website needs to be updated but feel free to stop in there too you ll be able to find the real me as opposed to the virtual version at the pennwriters conference in lancaster pa this may 17 20 where i ll be teaching a workshop thursday afternoon and i ll be at bouchercon in cleveland this october even if i have to walk so at the end of the month working stiffs may come to an end but it s simply another of life s changes happy spring posted by working stiffs at 6 04 am 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels annette monday march 19 2012 new beginings by c l phillips today is my final post for the working stiffs i d like to thank joyce tremel for taking a chance on an unknown mystery writer from austin texas prior to blogging here i d made a few posts on the sisters in crime blog joyce kindly offered me a home away from home gave me a chance to find my blogging voice and introduced me to the most amazing group of mystery writers i confess i m a little sad and excited to see the end of working stiffs i ve decided to strap on my big girl pants grow a pair and launch my own blog at c l phillips where i ll be waxing texan about true crime yep it s massively stranger than anything i could create flash mysteries like two of my later entries on working stiffs here and here interviews with cool people who love reading and writing mysteries the story behind the novel or the true story of how i come up with crazy ideas to write the focus is narrow all mystery all for readers i hope to provide a place of fellowship and discussion for people that love to read mysteries of all types like most of my work there will be irreverent humor veiled sex and more than one story you can tell at the bar with your friends i hope to see you there and i d love to keep in touch you can find me on twitter and this summer i am launching two books first mistake and killers anonymous some of the story behind the novel will be hilarious so you might want to stop by and find out how i created an ex stripper turned psychic channeler who channels a fifteenth century irish catholic priest and what happens when said priest drinks tequila and i hope to see you all at bouchercon in cleveland where rumor has it there is tequila at the hotel bar cue the eagles and hotel california you gotta admit when you hear the line you can check in but you can never leave you wish the song was a full length mystery novel no joyce my deepest and sincerest thanks and to everyone else i m buying the first round at bouchercon posted by working stiffs at 5 00 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday march 16 2012 jane austen sequels and rewrites by pat gulley i think dear jane s work is about the most rewritten and sequels added to in a category other than science fiction it all started in 1913 with old friends and new fancies by sybil g brinton and has been roaring along ever since i ve read a bunch of them the sequels not the rewrites i don t like rewrites they seem too presumptuous as if they know better than the original author sequels allows us to find out more about secondary or lesser characters some of my absolute favorites are the lydia bennet story charlotte collins the diary of captain wentworth and mercy s embrace a three book series about ann elliott s sister elizabeth oh you are not janites okay lydia and charlotte are from pride and prejudice and captain wentworth ann and elizabeth are from persuasion which is my all time favorite austen book i even have a sequel started myself it isn t one of my files that i open frequently due to the fact that one must be in the mood for the totally different speech patterns and spellings necessary to keep the time period right i m assuming all historical writers understand this but otoh i have seen some written with totally modern language most janites would disapprove so it occurs to me that a lot of famous books might deserve sequels and i d like to see what you think without doing jane or conan doyle or shakespeare and not taking up the ones that already exist in sf like star wars star trek stargate and not harry potter what great stand alone book or famous character from fiction of any kind would you like to write a sequel to no we won t demand you get to it just a little bit of daydreaming about if you could or maybe someday should posted by working stiffs at 4 15 am 13

this time i was grateful i still had two weeks to come up with today s blog post my last one here at working stiffs saying good bye isn t easy two weeks ago i d written about the sudden death of davy jones last saturday i went to a memorial in beavertown pa to say good bye to him there are tons of photos and videos on facebook and youtube i have a couple of videos at both places saying good bye is not easy it helped that the atmosphere the whole event wasn t totally sad or somber lots of funny stories and good music helped ease the sadness his life was celebrated and i was there with 500 others to help do it so that s how i decided to end my last post y know how you re suppose to give the audience what they want darcy flynn this one s for you http www youtube com watch v 0emlj0d66dq feature
